John reported
receiving an unusually high water bill of $67 vs. the usual
charge of $22. There was a leak near the West side marquee that was
fixed. Jerry Vigoren will have our landscaper check for additional
leaks.

Landscape:
Gerald
Vigoren is planning on putting a cement bench in the common area at
the end of Chipshot Drive at a cost of $174.

A home on
Chipshot Drive has plants growing over their back wall that have
encroached on common property. Gerald will ask the homeowner to trim
the growth back.

Gerald saw a
golf course worker driving a maintenance vehicle down Wedge Way
towards the cart path that leads to The Fairways. He was told not
to use that entrance because of past problems where gravel and rock
were accidentally deposited on our streets. This resulted in us
having to clean the debris to prevent possible street damage.

ARC/Compliance:
Margie Glieden reported receiving, and approved the ARC request
from a homeowner on Wedge Way who wanted to paint their house the
same color as another home in the Links.

Communication:
In Carmen Scarlott’s absence,
there was nothing to report.

John Alley
reviewed the Income and Disbursements, 3rd. Quarter
Report.

There are
multiple CDs up for renewal, all of which are short term. The
incoming treasurer will have to decide how to reinvest maturing CDs.
Current rates are very low. Last month we received only $1.17 in
interest income.

As of the end of
October we have spent 53% of the yearly budget. We received a bill
from the landscaper that will be reflected along with a payment to
the gate company in next months Income & Disbursements report. We
are fiscally strong and continue to grow our reserve funds.

MOTION: Moved

MOTION: Moved that Links HOA dues remain at $445 (M/S/C)

John Alley
reported getting together with a homeowner who expressed an interest
in treasurer responsibilities. After reviewing the process and
files John said the prospective homeowner seemed interested.

President’s Comments
– Anita Lichter reported that she hasn’t received any negative
feedback from the homeowner whose house was painted a questionable
color in her absence.

Secretary –
Ron Perlman had nothing new to report.

Legal Affairs: Tom Sparby
provided an overview on a GVCCC sponsored legal forum covering the
following: Assessment Collection, CC&Rs Enforcement,
Administration and Governance. Forum guest panel attorneys included
Phil Brown, Wendy Ehrlich and Carolyn Goldschmidt. The discussion
touched on new legislation that would have an impact on current CC&Rs.
Examples were: laws relating to satellite dishes, solar panels, and
for sale signs. It was suggested the CC&Rs be brought up to date to
include changes in the law. Tom will review the current CC&Rs and
consult with Carolyn Goldschmidt about updating them.

Physical Plant:
Norbert Bisek reported our streets should be good for another year
or two before it would be necessary to apply another seal coat.
Norbert volunteered to repaint the 6 common area railings he
previously painted in 2006. Cost of paint will be billed to the HOA.

A
mechanical problem with the west entrance gate resulted in the gate
opening and closing continuously. John Alley noticed it; shut the
power and closed the gate. The gate company was notified and
repaired the defective limit wheel that controls how far the gate
opens.

Landscape:
Gerald
Vigoren reported two trees by the south side of the east Links
entrance appear to be dying. They will be replaced with heritage
oaks.

A load of gravel
is expected to be added on Wednesday, to the common area at the
northwest end of Abrego.

Three plants
were ordered to replace the ones that died near the Links west side
marquee.

There was a brief discussion about trees and views. During the
discussion it was mentioned that the previous board had addressed
this issue. In the recent legal seminar attended by Tom Sparby it
was mentioned that views are not guaranteed by state statute, and
homeowner associations cannot mandate it.

ARC/Compliance:
Margie Glieden reported receiving an ARC requests from the
homeowner of the house that is south of the east gate entrance. The
first request was to change the house color to one that is the same
as another house in the Links. The house will have added accent trim
that is a little darker than the house color. The second request
was to raise the wall on the side of the house that faces the
entrance in order to eliminate light coming into their bedroom from
incoming cars. Both requests were approved.

Margie said that the ARC from on the web site is missing a place for
the requesting homeowner’s signature. Ron Perlman will follow up and
add a signature block to the form.

There was a continuing discussion about house colors. Norbert will
get swatches of colors that are close to the original approved
colors. Margie and Norbert will get together to provide a slate of
acceptable colors at next months meeting. Margie will include an
article in the next newsletter covering information on house colors.
.

Communication:
Carmen Scarlott reported that preparations for Christmas party are
coming along without any problems.

Old Business:
Ron Perlman reported he needed to have names of homeowners to
place on the ballot no later than the next board meeting in
December. During the following discussion names of homeowners who
will be contacted to serve. Various options such as reducing the
size of the board, hiring a management company, and leaving a
position or two vacant in the hope of filling it later in the year
were also mentioned.

Margie Glieden has spoken to a homeowner about not leaving a truck
in the driveway. She will monitor the situation and determine if
additional actions will be needed.

1.Links HOA Income & Disbursements report for 2009 3rd.
Quarter (Oct 01, 2009).2. Draft of a dues
invoice designed to include
voluntary contributions to the Links Social Committee.

John Alley
reviewed the Income and Disbursements, 3rd. Quarter
Report.

At the end of
the 3rd. Quarter we have spent 52% of the yearly budget.

The landscaper
is behind in billing about three or four months. It is important
that we receive an updated and current bill prior to the end of the
year. We did receive an increase of 2 percent for the landscape
bill. This would be the first increase in approximately 4 years.

All homeowner’s
dues have been received. One homeowner was late sending in the dues
and was fined $25 in late fees.

We have $94,648
in our Reserve Account. Our reserve target is $250,000. Prior to
closing out the financial reports for the current year, John
wants to roll excess operating funds from 2009 into the Reserve
Accounts. We have operating funds of $30,654 that include a
checking account, savings account, and a certificate of deposit.
John anticipates having $20,000 - $25,000 that can be moved into the
Reserve Account.

MOTION: Moved
to approve that the Treasurer, at the end of the calendar
year, takes the excess operating funds for 2009 and puts them
in the Reserve Account of which $5000 would go into the Streets and
Properties Reserve Fund, and the balance into the Non-Dedicated
reserves.

Farmers Water
Company called John and said the HOA is required to have the drip
system backflow tested by a certified firm. Gerald Vigoren called
Green Valley Heating and Plumbing and the cost will be $140 yearly
for the inspection and testing of both backflow valves.

John Alley
reviewed a draft of the new dues invoice designed to include
voluntary contributions to the Links Social Committee. Since
voluntary contributions become an asset, accounting for them will be
necessary.

MOTION: Moved
we authorize the Treasurer to solicit voluntary contributions to
fund The Social Committee (M/S/C)

MOTION: Moved
that we accept the Links HOA Income & Disbursements report (M/S/C)

President’s Comments
– Anita Lichter, president, reported that she has not heard
from Representative Gabriel Gifford’s office in response to a
request for help in dealing with erosion along the 8th fairway of
the Torres Blancas golf course. In the ensuing discussion,
it was mentioned that work on the Anza Trail will include a bicycle
path between the river and the golf course. This might result in
having that area protected against additional erosion in order to
insure the integrity of the bicycle path.

Secretary –
Ron Perlman followed up on a complaint and sent a ticket notice to a
homeowner on Greenside for excessive weeds. This situation was
rectified by the homeowner in a timely manner.

Ron read an email he received complaining about a homeowner who had
been leaving a truck either in their driveway, or a
neighbor’s driveway who is not here. Harry Cook said xxxx the
homeowner was installing cabinets along the wall of the garage, and
therefore, needed to temporarily keep the truck in the
driveway. Harry will talk to the homeowner. Margie Glieden, ARC
Coordinator, will monitor the situation and let Ron know if a
ticket notice should be sent.

Legal Affairs: In
Tom Sparby’s absence, there was nothing to report.

Physical Plant:
In Norbert Bisek’s absence, there was nothing new to report.

Landscape:
Gerald
Vigoren reported a tree by the south side of the east entrance was
loosing its leaves. Increasing the amount of water to the tree is
helping the tree grow back lost leaves.

An Ocotillo on
Fade that has been knocked down at least
three times was replaced with a Saguaro.

Another load of gravel will be added to the common area at the North
West end of Abrego. A tree in the same area that died was cut
down and hauled away. The transplanted
natural desert plants put in by Hank Glieden have improved the looks
of the area. A rotted piece of fence will also be replaced.

This year we will concentrate on plantings in the marquees near the
entrance gates. Little Bunny Fountain Grass will also be planted in
the common areas. These plants are hybrids and sterile. They will
not spread.

ARC/Compliance:
Margie Glieden initiated a discussion about the need to have
approved paint colors. After discussing the issue, it was
decided that Margie will contact Norbert Bisek, Together they will
create a list of approved exterior paint colors that would be as
close as possible to the original Dunn Edwards colors.

Communication:
In Carmen Scarlott’s absence, there was nothing new to
report.

Old Business: There
was a discussion about the need to fill at least two vacant board
positions for the coming year. In order to avoid hiring a management
company, which would result in significant increases in HOA
dues, board members will begin canvassing homeowners to serve.

There was a discussion about a homeowner who constantly flaunts HOA
parking regulations. This homeowner has repeatedly indicated that he
has no intention of abiding by HOA regulations. Since this is an
ongoing problem, it was suggested that Tom Sparby
(Legal Affairs), contact our attorney to discuss our options
in proceeding with this continuing problem.

New Business:
Ron Perlman reported receiving a complaint about a house on
Chipshot Drive. The home appears to be owned by an absentee owner.
A draft letter to be sent out by certified mail strongly suggesting
the homeowner paint the exterior of the house immediately was
presented and approved.

Russ Symes, former GVCCC president, informed the Board that the
SRSHOA Master Association, of which the Links is a member, along
with 5 other HOA’s, is exploring ways of dissolving. This can be
done if one of the member associations is willing to take
responsibility for the liability of the cart path between The Greens
and The Springs. The SRSHOA Master Association currently has
approximately $30,000 in reserves and can collect $5 per home from
each of the member associations. Last year, The Links paid the
Master Association $470. With a financial incentive, the Greens
might be willing to assume the responsibility. This will enable the
dissolution of the Master Association, and eliminate future annual
assessments to member HOA’s. This matter will be taken up at The
Greens next board meeting. If they agree to assume liability and
make annual insurance payments, each member HOA will have to get
approval of it’s homeowners via a ballot requiring approval from 67%
of the homeowners.

information on the correct address.

President’s Comments
– Anita Lichter, President, reported that she is still
waiting to hear from Representative Gabriel Gifford’s office in
response to a request for help in dealing with erosion along the 8th
fairway of the Torres Blancas golf course. Anita will make a point
to meet with Gabriel Gifford or her representative during one of
their scheduled meetings in Green Valley.

Anita reported receiving a letter from the GVCCC (Green Valley
Community Coordinating Council) informing HOA’s of a series of
meetings to discuss issues of common interest that affect
association operations, and the community as a whole. The purpose is
to help improve and/or resolve some of these issues or problems. The
next meeting will be on 6/22/2009 at 8:30a.m.at the Abrego South
Center.

Secretary –
Ron Perlman reported notifying homeowners that the Newslinks is on
line. Hard copies will be provided for homeowners that do not have
computer access.

Ron reported emailing copies of 32 individual Ticket Items to each
Board member. The use of Ticket Notices provided a non
confrontational mechanism to notify homeowners of infractions of the
CC&R’s. Of the 32 Ticket Items, we have only 4 or 5 different
Ticket Items that have been used.

Legal Affairs:
With Tom Sparby’s absence, there was no update on the April
29th workshop on HOA Legal Issues which was presented by
Carolyn Goldschmidt. Ron Perlman will contact Tom for an update.

Physical Plant:
In Norbert Bisek’s absence there was nothing new to report.

Landscape:
Gerald
Vigoren reported a water problem at the north side of the west
entrance by newly planted Mexican Primrose.

Two loads of
gravel were added to the common area at the North West end of Abrego.
If the budget permits another load may be added at the end of the
year.

An Agave plant
near the East side entrance gate was replaced by an Ocotillo, Gerald
will have the landscaper check out another Agave in the same area
that appears to be dying.

ARC/Compliance:
Margie Glieden initiated a discussion about the need to have
approved paint colors. Originally, Dorn Homes had a list of
approved Dunn Edwards paint. Many of the paint colors on the
approved list have been discontinued or had the name changed.
Margie will follow up upon her return to Green Valley in October.

Communication:
Carmen Scarlott had nothing new to report.

Old Business: In
response to a homeowner complaint, Gerald Vigoren painted his
new air conditioner the same color as the house, and also removed a
decorative ladder. Gerald requested a picture of the roof to check
the placement of the satellite dish, and is planning to reposition
it in a less conspicuous area of roof.

Holly Arvanites, Vice President, went to the SRSHOA Master
Association
quarterly meeting and reported they will compose a letter that will
be sent out to all homeowners, asking them to agree to dissolve the
umbrella organization. If 2/3 of the homeowners agree, GVR will also
have to approve dissolving the Master Association. Approval will
result in an unresolved issue of ownership of the cart path between
the Greens and The Springs.

New Business:
There was a discussion about the possibility of The Retreat at SRS
and the Condominiums at Canoa Ranch petitioning GVR for membership.
This would provide GVR with additional funds and possibly cause
overcrowding at existing facilities. If petitions are filed,
GVR members will have to approve it.

The meeting was
called to order at 9:00 a.m. by Anita Lichter, President.

MOTION:
Moved that agenda item number 11 (the member forum agenda item) be
moved to item 2. M/S/C (Motion/Seconded/Carried).

Member Forum: Wilma
Carrier read a statement of concern about a homeowner who had
replaced an air conditioner with a much larger unit; a
satellite dish that was recently installed in the front part of the
roof, and a “crooked” decorative ladder that was also located on the
roof.

Pictures before the installation of the new air conditioner unit and
satellite dish were provided along with a current picture.

After a brief discussion, Chuck and Wilma Carrier were
advised the board needed time to discuss their concerns, and will
later inform them of the decision. The Carriers were excused from
the meeting.

The ensuing discussion included a review of the CC&R’s, in
particular sections 9.2, 9.17, and 9.20 where the following is
stated:

·“The
installation of any antenna, satellite dish or exterior device shall
be made so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, the
visual impact of the installation.”

·“All evaporative
coolers and air conditioning units shall be installed only as
approved by the Association.”

·“No
unsightly articles or objects shall be permitted which are visible
from adjoining Lots or from the street or any public way. The Board
shall have the sole discretion in determining if any activity by an
Owner, his/herfamily,
invitees or lessees is in violation of this Section. “

All new replacement air
conditioners are energy efficient and much bigger than the original
units installed by Dorn. Since the replacement is not a
modification, it was decided that board approval should not be
required. In order to comply with, "exterior device shallbe made so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible,
the visual impact of theinstallation." it should be painted the same color as the
home.

MOTION:
Moved that the air conditioner be painted the same color as the
house and that the homeowner consider repositioning the satellite
dish to a less conspicuous area of the roof, and consider removing
the ladder. M/S/C (Motion/Seconded/Carried)

MOTION:
Moved that we approve the Minutes of the Feb 19, 2009 Directors
Meeting. M/S/C (Motion/Seconded/Carried)

John Alley

Percent of 2009
budget spent is 21.35% through the 1st quarter which is
what would be expected at this time. The only additional income
will be from interest on CD’s, dues from approximately 20 homeowners
who elected to pay in two installments, and fees from the sale
transfer of homes.

There is one
home transfer sale pending on 2693 S. Chipshot Dr. Closing is
expected at the end of the month.

John Alley

GVR. Ron requested the Social Committee provide a date for the
Links Annual Potato Bake as soon as possible.

A
new Architectural- Change- Landscape, or “Addition

attend the April 29th workshop on HOA Legal Issues,
which will be presented by Carolyn Goldschmidt at the Windmill Suits
Inn in Tucson.

Physical
Plant:
Norbert Bisek reported that Ace Asphalt will be sealing the cracks
on Wednesday, April 22nd. The cracks will be blown out
and then filled. The streets can be driven on after 30 minutes.
There was one area on Greenside Place of approximately 15’ x 4’ that
will eventually have to be cut out and replaced. Ace Asphalt said
the cost of sending a crew to fix that area at this time was not
recommended.

Norbert requested a current list of local phone numbers in order to
update the two Links entrance gate phone directories. Ron Perlman
will email a current Homeowner’s Directory to John Alley who will
assist Norbert. Only local landline numbers can be used.

Landscape:
In Gerald
Vigoren’s absence, it was reported
that Gerald will give the golf course additional time to remove
debris in the area across from 2693 -2699 S. Chipshot Drive, before
asking our landscaper to clean out the area.

ARC/Compliance:
Margie Glieden reported talking to the homeowner of 2831 S. Fade
Drive who was initially planning to paint the house a color that was
deemed unacceptable. After multiple conversations, the
homeowner completed and signed an ARC form agreeing to paint the
house the same color. Norbert Bisek gave the homeowner a can of the
original paint.

Communication:
Carmen Scarlott reported the Social Committee made $35 at the Ladies
Tea. There was an ongoing discussion pertaining to ways of raising
money for the social committee. One idea was to include a request
for funds along with the dues letters. Any homeowner wanting to
make a contribution would write in an amount and add it to the
dues.

There was a discussion about getting some of the newer homeowners
involved in the community. One idea being pursued is to invite new
homeowners to a newcomers meeting where coffee, donuts, etc will be
served.

Note: Norbert
Bisek, homeowner, attended the meeting. Mr. Bisek will officially
become a member of the board at the next meeting with the return of
the board president and an affirmative vote by the board. This will
bring the total number of board members to 9.

The meeting was
called to order at 9:12 a.m. by Holly Arvanites, Vice President.

Relations is an entry of $150 for the Links Social Committee. The
Social Committee, through fund raising activities, will be
responsible for replenishing funds to cover costs of future events.
At Carmen’s request, John created a form to track debits and
credits.

Income taxes of
$1614 were paid. Unlike individuals, HOA’s have a March 15th
deadline for filing. Income interest of $0.83 was received in
February. Our current ending balance at the end of February is
$142,918. Spending is currently at 3% of what budgeted.

MOTION: Moved

President’s Comments
– In Anita Lichter’s absence there was nothing to report.

Secretary –
Ron Perlman reported receiving the 2010 reservation forms from Green
Valley Recreation. Based on priorities and continued growth of GVR
facilities, exact dates may not be available. All reservation
requests will be processed in the order they are received. Ron will
submit the forms as soon as possible. HOA Board meetings will
continue to be the third Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m.

Legal Affairs:
Tom Sparby reported that he was unable to attend the GVCCC sponsored
workshop on legal issues that currently affect HOA's. Tom will
contact attorney Carolyn Goldschmidt’s office and request copies of
handouts that were distributed at the workshop. Attempts to get
additional information will be made by contacting other HOAs.

Physical Plant:
Norbert Bisek asked Ace Asphalt to evaluate the condition of our
streets. The sealer is good for another two years but cracks need to
be filled. Ace quoted a price of $4,368 for 185 gallons of crack
sealer to fill cracks of a ¼ inch or wider. Norbert will get two
more bids, and then decide on which company to use to fill in the
cracks.

An
audit of homeowner’s local phone numbers will be done for the
purpose of keeping the phone numbers in the Links entrance gates
current. Altech will be informed and make any necessary changes.

Landscape:

Member Forum: Al
Zaeske, homeowner, reported that last year he talked to Torres
Blancas about an accumulation of debris left from trimming trees and
bushes by the wash across from his and a neighbors house. Debris is
building up again. Al was informed to contact Gerald Vigoren, our
Links Landsape Chaiperson, for follow-up.

John Alley,
Treasurer, reviewed the Income and Disbursements, 1st.
Quarter Report.

Spending is
currently at 3.3 % of what is budgeted. This is not unusual for this
time of the year because income which is comprised of dues
and interest, comes in early in the year. Of the dues that were
collected $15,000 of operating funds were placed in a 7 month CD.
The rest remains liquid to meet spending needs for the next 7
months.

All HOA dues are
paid. Income from 22 homeowners that have opted for the two payment
plan is expected in June.

MOTION: Moved
that we accept the Links HOA Income & Disbursements report (M/S/C)

President’s Comments

In
order to encourage homeowner participation, Anita will
contact Barbara Servatka about putting together a newsletter.

Secretary –
Ron Perlman reported receiving a phone call from a homeowner
complaining about debris left in the common area behind homes at the
northwest end of Fade drive. An email was also received from
another homeowner in the same area reporting that a landscaper left
a pair of leather work gloves. The email also mentioned the large
truck that brought in gravel left large ruts about a foot deep and
25 feet long. Ron forwarded the email to Gerald Vigoren, Landscape,
for follow-up.

Legal Affairs:
Tom Sparby reported he will be attending a GVCCC sponsored workshop
on legal issues that currently affect HOA’s. The workshop will be
held on Wednesday, March 4th at 1:30pm. The Links

There was a discussion about a series of articles in the Green
Valley paper about involuntary dues paid to GVR, and a movement by
some homeowners attempt to not pay.

Physical Plant:
Hank Glieden reported receiving a file containing the Physical Plant
survey, and check list. A second file with repaving information was
not passed along. If the file cannot be located, John Alley
will reprint some of the missing information which is stored on his
computer. John Alley will give Hank the key to gates that provides
access to a reset button. After the meeting, John will show
Hank how to manually open the gates in the event of a malfunction.

The west gate circuit board that was replaced last year was
malfunctioning, and will be removed and sent in for repair or
replacement. There will be no cost to the HOA because the board is
under warranty. The gate may be out of service for 3 weeks.

Landscape:
Gerald Vigoren reported the Links west
entrance marquee is not illuminated properly. The landscaper will be
informed to move the bush that is blocking the light.

4
truckloads of gravel were placed in the common area behind the homes
at northwest end of Fade Drive. Deep rear wheel marks left by the
truck will be fixed. The golf course landscaper trimmed trees in
the Links common area mentioned above. If Torres Blancas doesn’t
pick up the debris, Gerald will have our landscaper clean out
the area.

Perennial flowers were planted in the four planters directly in
front ofthe Links marquees at the west and east side of
Abrego. Flowers that were previously planted there were lost becauseofa faulty water timer that was subsequently fixed.

Communication:
Carmen Scarlott reported receiving updated binders that are mailed
to all new homeowners after closing. Prior to mailing out the next
binder, Carmen will make sure it is updated with the current
fiscal data.

Carmen submitted a bill for $78 for costs related to the recent
Links potato bake. In the ensuing discussion it was decided to
provide seed money for the Social Committee who will be responsible
for replenishing funds to cover future costs. Carmen will keep the
Social Committee funds, and John Alley, Treasurer, will keep
track of income and expenses. John Alley will give Carmen a check
for$150.

MOTION: Moved
that we give the Links Social Committee one time only seed funding
of $150. The Social Committee, through fund raising activities, will
be responsible for replenishing funds to cover costs of future
events during the year. (M/S/C)

Anita Lichter, President, initiated a discussion about
potential homeowners who may be interested in filling the current
vacant Physical Plant position on the Board. There were additional
discussions about encouraging homeowner’s participation in community

President’s Comments
– Tom Myers will solicit interest in filling a vacant Board position
at the Annual Meeting due to a last minute withdrawal by a homeowner
who initially volunteered to serve.

There was a discussion covering preparations needed for the Annual
Meeting, as well as the following Organizational Meeting of
the new Board whose purpose is to determine Board member roles for
2009.

Secretary –
Ron Perlman reported receiving enough ballots to establish a quorum
at the Annual Meeting. Ballots will be turned over to Ed Frantz who
will announce the results. Ron will contact GVR to make sure the
Anza Room will be configured to meet our needs for the Annual
Meeting.

Ron provided copies of a letter returned with the ballots
questioning procedural issues relating to balancing the board and
proxy mailed to all homeowners. Tom Myers will respond to this
letter at the Annual Meeting.

The area at the end of Chipshot behind Fade was treated for weeds to
insure that weeds do not come up from under recently placed gravel.
Other common areas are treated with pre-emergent in the spring and
fall. Gerald will remind our landscaper to make sure this is done
this spring.
